These are renewable but due to lack of development in technologies, the produced biogas cannot be effectively used and hence is of very less importance. Advanced biogas generation method has increased to the increase of a quantity of biogas rural devices for cooking, lighting, heating and power production. To meet the power need for food preparing purpose at community level in addition to domestic level the most capable appliance is the biogas stove among them. Several studies are happening for efficient generation of biogas in order to it could be used as alternate energy, because conventional fossil fuels are costlier than biogas. In this study designed three types of burner namely burner A with 115 holes of 1.5 mm size, burner B with 41 holes of 3 mm size and burner C with 44 holes of 2 mm size. By using this burner in place of regular burner for boiling water reach maximum flame temperature 1261.023 °C for A, 1226.01 °C for B and 1317.929 °C for C and the temperature rise in burner A, B and C are 0.31°C, 0.403 °C and 0.273 °C respectively.","PeriodicalId":447033,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Innovation (Topic)","volume":"06 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131131612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A newly-released environmental policy stringency index (EPS) provided by the OECD is used as an indicator of the stringency of environmental regulations in order to tackle endogeneity issues of proxies used in earlier research. The findings indicate that more stringent environmental regulations positively influence R&D expenditure, the number of patent applications and total factor productivity (TFP). The results show that environmental stringency has a positive effect on R&D, mainly for the lower quantiles (0.10, 0.25) of the distribution of R&D, whereas for the number of patent applications and total factor productivity, the effect increases for the highest quantiles (0.75, 0.90) of the distribution of the targeted indicators.","PeriodicalId":447033,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Innovation (Topic)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132945139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use the 2009 wave of the German part of the Community Innovation Panel (CIS) allowing for such an analysis at the firm level. The main focus of the paper lies on the analysis of the adaptation behavior of firms with respect to the relationship of employment and (environmental) innovation. We use an endogenous switching regression approach to take the simultaneous character of innovation activities and employment demand into consideration. Our econometric analysis shows that innovative firms in general are characterized by a significantly more dynamic employment development. Especially the realization of environmental process innovations leads to a higher employment within the firm. The theoretical background of this finding is that process innovation induced cost savings improve the competitiveness of firms. This has a positive effect on demand and thus also increases employment. A more detailed analysis by different environmental innovation fields shows that material and energy savings are positively correlated to employment because they especially help to increase the profitability and competitiveness of the firm. On the other side, air and water process innovations that are still dominated by end-of-pipe technologies have a negative impact on the employment development.","PeriodicalId":447033,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Innovation (Topic)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130435424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The All-in-Auction (AiA) increases efficiency and social welfare by reallocating water without harming water rights holders. AiAs can be used to allocate variable or diminished flows among traditional or new uses. AiAs are appropriate for use within larger organizations that distribute water among members, e.g., irrigation districts or wholesale water agencies. Members would decide when and how to use AiAs, i.e., when transaction costs are high, environmental constraints are binding, or allocation to outsiders is desired. Experimental sessions show that an AiA reallocates more units with no less efficiency that traditional two-sided auctions.","PeriodicalId":447033,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Innovation (Topic)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130862473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is more pronounced in the case of hybrid wired/wireless networks because of the high susceptibility of wireless communication to such an environment. PROFIBUS as one of the widely applied fieldbus protocols is considered here. Consequently, a timing analysis for hybrid wired/wireless PROFIBUS networks under a bounded error model is proposed. In this context, two alternatives for Hybrid Wired/Wireless - Multiple Logical Rings (MLR) - are discussed on the base of a single PROFIBUS network - the Single Logical Ring (SLR) - analysis. This work is essential to assess the real-time behaviour of such a PROFIBUS network under the incidence of errors.","PeriodicalId":447033,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Innovation (Topic)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123196807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In terms of impacts, the two approaches are considered to be sustainable solutions that imply finding the right balance between ecological and economic requirements by maximizing sustainability throughout all the stages of the product development process. However, despite the complimentarities of their impacts, the two concepts are not clear in terms of targets and mechanisms. The aim of this article is to discuss these differences within the building and construction sector in the context of smart cities. We argue that the development of smart cities is closely linked to the context of sustainable development and therefore the strategy related to the integration of environmental considerations into the design stage is determinant when engineering the buildings and selecting the materials. In order to investigate empirically the understanding of the two concepts among professionals, we use a media content analysis. Within the LexisNexis database, we selected European professional magazines from the environment, construction and building categories published in English, French and German languages over the period 2005-2015. Our results are threefold: first, there is a predominant use of the eco-design compared to the eco-innovation concept; second, there is a strong difference between English and French professional magazine articles, the latter discussing eco-design much more often than the first; and finally, the range of discussed eco-design mechanisms and impacts got slowly broader since 2012. We discuss the results and try to explain them according to the evolution of the regulation in this field.","PeriodicalId":447033,"journal":{"name":"SRPN: Innovation (Topic)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131320396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
